Not to be trusted

[Jonathan Wong @WONGthink]

Jess Phillips admits that she knew the bill she voted for would mean sex offenders, including rapists and paedophiles, would be let out early.

She voted against the Conservatives' amendment which would exclude the release of rapists, paedophiles and groomers in October 2025.

This interview is phenomenal. Commendations to @KonstantinKisin @triggerpod @francisjfoster

There’s so much one could say about it. But the chef’s kiss comes in the last few minutes, when Alastair Campbell inadvertently reveals that he doesn’t understand the difference between net energy loss and net energy gain, and has no interest in learning the difference either.

The interview is also an inadvertent masterclass in the tricks of the narrative control trade, particularly the art of defaulting to dismissiveness (eye rolling, sighing, faux exasperation and moral superiority signalling) to shut down entirely reasonable lines of questioning and inconvenient truths when they threaten to unravel one’s position.

Campbell repeatedly deploys these tactics, like the master practitioner of persuasive dark arts that he is. In fact, he channels dismissiveness as though it’s a secret superpower that only he possesses: as if to suggest that if he can make a question seem beneath him, perhaps the audience will conclude it’s beneath them too.

The spell, however, has almost no effect on Konstantin and Francis, both of whom consistently outmatch him by appealing to something even more powerful: even more superior reasonableness. They refuse to be baited, refuse to mirror his theatrics, and simply keep returning to the substance of the argument.

Campbell doesn’t seem to clock that his secret weapon has turned into a liability until it’s way too late.

Amazing to watch, whatever your politics are.

🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović:

“I’m going to be honest here. Even as someone who loves Messi, this World Cup has looked like a tournament prepared for Argentina to win. When I watch other matches and then watch Argentina’s games, it makes me wonder whether the rules are different for Argentina’s players. They don’t play like a team that came to play football; they play as if it’s a karate competition. Yet despite all of that, the referees don’t give them cards.

I have seen so many challenges that deserved yellow or red cards, but the referees refused to show them. For Argentina’s second goal, Messi stepped on Spence, and VAR didn’t review it. Yet against Egypt, VAR disallowed Egypt’s goal for the exact same reason. The same thing has happened in other matches they have played.

I don’t think it’s fair to say this World Cup has been fair because everything points to the fact that they want Argentina to win so badly. It’s very shameful that FIFA has not looked into all of this.”

Keir Starmer — ever a man of his word til the end.
In June 2023 he explicitly ruled out ever indulging in a resignation honours list (BBC Radio 4 Today).
Today he’s marked his resignation with 21 peerages, overwhelmingly public-sector/legal jobsworths. Barely a single wealth creator among them.
Classic line up of the New Establishment which has run the country under Labour and Tory governments for the past three decades and is now firmly in control. Largely (if not entirely) with the following characteristics:
*Career almost entirely in public sector, often taking salaries from several sinecures at once as they work up the greasy taxpayer-funded pole.
*Associated with various ‘right-on’ causes.
*Largely middle class, London chattering class, Oxbridge well represented (of course).
*Fashionable left but not too left. Good mainstream Labour links.
Thus is the antediluvian House of Lords perpetuated by the Left as well as the Right as a comfortable state-funded retirement home for the well-connected ‘good and great’ past their sell-by date — when it should simply be abolished.

[Runner Bean @quisitydog]

Wow Jess Philips on channel 4 news. Basically we need to release rapists early because there are so many more rapists every week we need their cells. What a shameful society recent governments have built

How is this not a Red Card?

[SIR1⭐️ @sa10nee]

Jude Bellingham criticized Thomas Tuchel’s tactics and also taken a swipe at Argentina following England’s defeat.

“I really don’t know why the coach brought on so many defenders when we were already ahead. We could have won if he didn’t make those changes. Argentina didn’t do much before the substitutions; they were just making rough tackles and weren’t here to play football. Even Messi didn’t play well. I strongly believed we could have scored more,I mean why the hell would u remove Gordon who scored? I know people gonna hate me but this is the truth”.

[Football Away Days @FBAwayDays]

Absolutely devastating result.

Absolute tactical disaster-class from Tuchel.

Lying again

Winston Churchill was serving as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom when he received the Grand-Croix of the Légion d'honneur. He was awarded France's highest honour by French President Charles de Gaulle in December 1958, during Churchill's second term as Prime Minister (1951–1955

I’m glad @ZiaYusufUK named and shamed people who have used vile rhetoric against Ann Widdecombe and Reform:

David Lammy
Wes Streeting
Jess Phillips
Ed Davey
Lisa Nandy
Lucy Powell
Tory Chairman
Keir Starmer

Putin murdered citizens. To compare Farage to him is disgusting.

[Higgy @higgyboson]

I'm so pleased that the rest of the country is now aware how shit Devon and Cornwall Police are.

The 1.5 million people who live down here have been aware of this for several years.

They are truly awful.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

The Head of Counter Terrorism Policing has now confirmed Ann Widdecombe was murdered in a targeted attack.

It is also being investigated as terrorism and politically motivated.

The police initially got it wrong by dismissing them. Always speculate.

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

Oh Amnesty. How far you have fallen.

Amnesty International UK compiled an “anti rights”list. And not one Islamic organisation appeared on it. Not one.

But Christian organisations were, including the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, as well as the Catholic Medical Association and the Catholic Herald.

This is globalist blatant anti Christian prejudice, where mainstream Christian belief is treated as dangerous (seriously)

Amnesty then deleted the report when people noticed obvs … but the internet never forgets.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. https://t.co/iyohnrgVZN

This group of Labour MPs must be the nastiest, stupidest bunch of people to ever run the country.
